are steady and las firm rs Il rock.
everything goes on in as favorable
way as at present we may look for q
very heavy trade IN the fall. A great
deal of real estate IL being sold. The
great rush, however, is past. People
want to wait now until they have al
opportunity to see what improvements
are to be made. Transferring will
rot decrease, however, but Will
keep fully up to what they
now are for the next thirty days
No one can ask for better market than
we now have in st. Paul. 1t is free
from imitation, and is based entirely
upon a large increase in our population
and solid growth of the city in all de-
p.etrss, IS. Everything seems to go on
is is and unless it has merits it

fair value is taken quickly and cannot
he bought for less. During the whole;
season values have been strong and,
steadily increasing, and the market has
been exceedingly firm, steady and solite,
Bryant Il Kirk-There is a heavy and
continuous demand for all kinds OF
property and very free inquiry f0f
residence lots on st. Anthony hilk
Prices do not continue long withOut

owner and You gotO him the next day
and ten To one he. has. advanced the
figure. There is very active demand
for Summit avenue property. The
same may he said along out on Dayton,
Laurel and Marshall avenues. 1t is
difficult to name any part of the city
where there is not an active demand.
The choice of people is so varied that
all find something somewhere in every
part of town that suits them.
w. f. BurtOn-It is the old story, q
firm, steady market, with good prices
and fairly active demand and liberal
sales. Prices are improving all around,
especially on st. Anthony hill where the
cable line is anticipated. Property all
around Manchester college is gradually
increasing in value, and the same may
be said of the addition to Merriam Park,
and really all the property on the hill,
especially between University and Sum
nit avenues. 1t would be very difficult
to mention any part of the city where
prices are not improving. There seems
to be a steady, healthy increase all
around.
w. S. Monroe-I can't say anything
new. Everything is moving along
steadily and solidly with good steady
flow of business that runs little over
S250,000 day right along, except when
some syndicate steps in and increases
that amount. It's good market and we
cannot ask for anything better.
Beaumont IL Cathcart-The market
has been little quiet all around, and
sales rather light, but owners have
never held more firmly. Many deals
have been closed in acre tracts in the past
ten days, the short time option men
have been run out of the market. In
many instances those who have COM
pleted their contracts have doubled
their prices and sit down quietly con-
tent to wait until the operators come
fully to their views. and it is safe
statement that very few of the present
holders will be frightened off
from their purchases and will
within a few months harvest very
large profits. Inquiry north of Como is
still very strong, and the public need
not be surprised to learn of new devel-
Opments contemplated there within the
closing deals on and near Western ave-
nue., and the pressure in that section is
so great that within fortnight all our
listings will be advanced over so per
cent. for the new account.
No property to-day i'll the market
shows the firmneSS and strength of lots
and feet in West st. Paul in the tender
loin district, viz: Between Dakota ave-
nue. and State street and the river and
Chicago avenue. Prices are high and
firm, inquiry eager and persistent, and
we think that double present figures
will be easily commanded within the,
coming six months.
Among the possibilities of the immek
date future is new ''boOm' for SUNG
nit avenue, but one entirely healthy iII
all respects and that will come to stay.
a large number of Eastern buyers
have been in our Office in the past few
days. and they mean business. The genf
eral tone of the market could not BID
healthier.
